The Lowdown
Right, let’s talk surf in feet and degrees, same spot.
Karramarro is the call – an advanced point break that’s inconsistent but lights up when the NW groundswell hits. Water’s running about 75°F, nearly 4° warmer than usual – feels like a bath.
First good window shows up Friday the 28th morning. Clean 5ft NW swell, 8-second period, and a nice offshore breeze from the SSW. Combined energy is moderate (291). The afternoon goes cross-on, so get out early.
Saturday the 29th morning is a standout. Dead glass, no wind, swell picking up to 6ft from the WNW with a 9-second period. Energy is solid (497). This is clean, fun, and if the crowds hold off, it’s your session.
Sunday the 30th morning keeps the glassy streak with 5ft NW swell, 10-second period, and energy now strong (582). Another winner. Afternoon gets choppy.
Monday the 31st morning is glassy again, 5ft NW, 9-second period, energy strong (466). Consistent and clean.
The week dips into a flat spell by Wednesday the 2nd and Thursday the 3rd – drops below 3ft, energy fades. Some glassy moments but not worth paddling out.
Then it fires up again Saturday the 5th of September morning. This is the big one: 6ft NW groundswell, 13-second period, and the combined energy is screaming at 1120 – strong to very strong. Light cross-off wind from the S keeps it clean. Experts only at that size with a long period – it’s going to unload on the reef. Expect a few heads out there.
Sunday the 6th morning cleans up with glassy conditions and a drop to 5ft NW, 11-second period – solid but not as intense as Saturday.
After that, it flatlines. Swell crashes below 3ft, periods get short, and we’re stuck with weak, messy conditions for nearly a week. There’s a tiny blip on the 12th with a very long-period 1ft WNW swell at 18 seconds, but it’s barely surfable – energy only moderate (150) and onshore kicks in.
Top picks: Saturday the 29th morning and Saturday the 5th morning. Sunday the 30th and Monday the 31st mornings are solid backups. Get on it early.

Information about the Karramarro Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Karramarro provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Karramarro can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Karramarro surf forecast is unique since it includes wave energy (power) that defines the real feel of the surf rather than just the height or the period. If you surf the same spot (Karramarro) regularly then make a mental note of the wave energy from the surf forecast table each time you go. Very soon you may start to choose your surf days based on the wave energy alone combined with our forecast of favourable offshore wind conditions. Our star ratings will help here and of course you will also find the usual wave height and period predictions on our surf forecasts as well as a full break down of the swell components under our advanced users option (to reveal that, click the little Einstein character under the tide times).
Further information to help with frequently asked questions about our surf forecast for Karramarro may be found under the help tab on the top menu and also by moving your mouse over the question marks on the surf forecast table itself. Please always bear in mind that the forecast is for near-shore open water and local factors at each surf break influence the actual breaking wave height, such as the beach / reef profile, water depths offshore and shelter.
